I'm Jennifer G., the breeder behind Gold Heart Pups located in Philomath, OR. The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others.
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I was a guardian for a breeding mama dog and enjoyed the experience. When a career change was presented I began online classes for dog breeders. My family bred horses when I was young and raised other animals, so it was a natural transition.
What makes your program special?
We have high value pups because we have a lifetime health guarentee against genetic disorders and we test our puppies personalities to ensure that they go to the home that best fits them and the new owner gets the pup that is perfect for them.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan, black white and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
